Egypt: Death penalty

During December 1999, death sentences were passed down on Widad Habib Saleh (f), Mohammad Ramadhan Mohammad Ma'atouq, Fatiha Mohammad al-Tahawi (f), Saber Adel Ahmed al-Farghali, Hani Salah, Ikrami Salah, Ahmad Ibrahim and Eid Mansour. Since their death sentences have already been approved by the Mufti, their last chance now lies with the President, to whom the sentences have been sent for ratification.
